Summer Lightning

It is almost time

Congress could end this tariff nightmare, not tomorrow, but right now. Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…” Tariffs are a tax on exports. Keyword: TAX. It's Congress' job! Trump tariffs are illegal.

Yeah...don't check your retirement accounts...that was a bad idea.

I lol-ed

The NWS office in Paducah, which has to handle some of the most frequent and impactful weather in America and was nearly taken out by a tornado tonight ahead of a catastrophic flood event has to use a parking lot porta potty because they can’t fix plumbing due to the govt funding freeze.

👀

Would be nice if congress could remember it is illegal for the president to unilaterally impose tariffs

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

Hack: if flying east from the US overnight to Europe, sit on the left side of the plane, sleep early, stay awake for this 👇

I heard nothing on @npr this morning. Spread the word, people. Cory Booker is making good trouble. We all should.

I suck at traveling. In August I went to LA to see Powerwolf, got COVID; in December I went to see another show in Denver, got a cold; in February I went to the chaser summit, got the flu; in March I went to Britain and now have a fever...and I can't chase. My immune system has developed a flaw

Had a wonderful time visiting the UK. Of course, our visit was not nearly long enough, and we had to return back home, but grateful to have been able to go in the first place.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Storm Chasing Tip: If I were chasing tomorrow, I would try to find the best storm

Moss is so foreign to this high plains drifter Caerphilly, Wales

Took a wander around Bath yesterday. Beautiful city!! "What did the Romans ever do for us?"

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Someone please tell me that this nightmare will be stopped. When will the dems grow a spine?

I leave the country for TWO MINUTES!!! This is unacceptable. How did you people allow this to happen in my absence? I am not mad, I am disappointed

Aurora Borealis comes in view, aurora comes in view, and I ran I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls What an amazing first experience on #BritishAirways' iconic #A380!! Next stop - Cardiff!! After a compulsory fry up.

Oh, if you insist...

Yes. This study will also be used to destroy the currently-excellent reputation of NIH and its supported work. Scientists, the time to fight back is now. If we let these anti-vax studies happen without us loudly saying they are crap, it will sink us, all of us.

Compassion is hard but let’s practice it.

The NWS Storm Prediction Center once again displayed their expertise with pinpointing a significant severe weather threat in the southeast beginning with their Day 7 Severe Weather Outlook all the way through the event as it unfolded *Reports are preliminary with more likely to come
